Matrix R click
PID:
MIKROE-2245
Weight:
30 g
Matrix R click is a mikroBUS add-on board with two red 5x7 matrices driven by
two MAX7219 8-bit LED Display Drivers. The active area of each matrix is 7.62mm high and
5.08 mm wide. 7x5 is a standard resolution for displaying ASCII characters, so the click is
essentially a dual-character display capable of showing letters in more readable typefaces
compared to a 14-segment display. The click communicates with the target MCU through
the mikroBUS:tm: SPI interface with two separate Chip Select lines for each matrix (CSL for
the left, CSR for the right). This board is designed to use a 5V power supply.

Features and usage notes
The 7x5 LED matrix is a standard resolution for displaying ASCII characters. Matrix click
is essentially a dual-character display capable of showing letters in more readable
typefaces compared to a 14-segment display.
If you double up on a board with two adjacent mikroBUS sockets, such as clicker 2 or
Flip & click, you will get four characters.
The possibility to horizontally scroll the text makes for a virtually unlimited space for
displaying written information.
